Cooling fan won\'t shut off.

Hi all. I've got a problem. The radiator cooling fan on our 99 TDI Beetle was stuck on. I replaced the cooling fan control module with a new one that I bought on line. The relay in the old one was fried. After a day or so the fan stuck on again. I thought I had a defective module so I got another new one from the same online company and installed it. A day or so later the fan stuck on again. The fan keeps running even though I have unplugged the radiator temp switch. I just bought another control module from VW. This on looks like the others with the same numbers printed on the side. The only difference is that this one also has the VW logo. They are all stamped with "made in Hungry". Could there possibly be something in the circut that is ruining these new modules. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx, Jon.

The fan will stay on if you have the radiator temp sensor unplugged. Maybe it is the temp sensor that is bad.
